The best things in life are laughing with the one you love... waking up to a beautiful sunrise... breakfast in bed... long, slow kisses... snuggling in front of the fire during a thunderstorm... hot cappuccino... horseback riding on a country trail... a man comfortable in his own skin....

I have a great sense of humor and don't take myself too seriously. Engineering designer, guitarist, bassist, vocalist and artist who enjoys being around creative, intelligent people. Not into games. Never married and no children. Looking for someone special; a man of character, integrity and substance; a partner and best friend to share my life with. I love a romantic man (that never seems to go out of style)... laughter, joy... I am looking for a man with a great heart and a great mind; someone willing to work at making a relationship work... Someone sincere... confident, yet gentle in spirit... Very serious about monogamy. I hope to find someone with the same interests...

I have to admit that I have a weakness for a great smile and warm, sparkling eyes… but also emotional and intellectual strength ~

Would love to take a drive, sit by the lake (or even the patio) with someone special to watch the sun set. I’m just as happy and comfortable staying in watching a movie and cooking a great meal, as I am going out.

If you are trustworthy, honest, dependable and have your priorities in order, then I am interested in hearing from you. Lies and deceitfulness are not going to cut it here.

About the headline: NO, I am not expecting perfection; it doesn’t exist… just someone perfect for me, who makes my heart smile ~

Life is much too short to be miserable and not have fun and enjoy the time that we are given ~


UPDATED / 13 NOVEMBER 2009

PHOTOS ARE APPROX. ONE YEAR OLD (I DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE CURRENT THAN THAT, AT THE MOMENT). MY HAIR HAS GROWN OUT DARK BLONDE.

My Wish: One kind, decent, classy, normal, honest, dependable guy... One who won't spend his time trying to make me chase him... One who is actually close enough to meet and spend quality time with... If you are interested, then please respond to your emails and make the effort... some of us really are trying~

I am only interested in meeting someone who does what he says he will do. It’s an integrity thing, and that speaks the loudest to me ~


NOTES:

* Please do not message me for sex -- have some respect for me and for yourselves, gentlemen, it goes a long way... So let's play nice~

* My preference is to meet someone close in AGE and LOCATION -- LOCAL ONLY!!! (I AM FIRM ON THIS) ~

* Mutual interest and attraction is a must ~

* Not looking for a sugar-daddy or a bed buddy ~

* Not interested in an internet or phone relationship. It’s a great way to meet people, but not what I’m looking for ~

* Not interested if you are not done "playing" ~

* Sorry, just honesty here… fish or cut bait ~~~

* We are not too old to bypass any formalities ~

* I am sincere in my search; you should be, too, please ~
